Parc Güell

1. Parc Güell, Carrer d'Olot, Barcelona

2. Public park

3. Realised during the years 1900-1914 by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudì. It should have been a garden-city.

4. Gaudì tried to maintain the natural slope of the terrain relief, creating an original work by the sinuous profile. To build the construction, the artist employed recovery colorful ceramics and glass   pieces, used as mosaic tiles. At the top of the main steps, with the fountain shaped salamander,  there's the hypostyle hall. 

5. Parc Guell can be a meeting point for people that want to relax or spend some time. There's a terrace whence you have a fantastic view of the park and the city. Within there was Gaudì's house, that was changed in a museum.

6. I think that the building is wonderful for its colours and beauty. It appears in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so we can understand the splendor of this construction.

7. I remained fascinated by that building. While I was on the terrace I could see most part of Barcelona, so I felt loose and carefree. You should go there to relax and reflect.
